All-Pro / Currie Rock Jock Dana 60 |
|
Written by shane4x4

All-Pro Off-Road just announced a replacement rear-end for the FJ Cruiser. This Dana 60 setup upgrades your rear end from the OEM 8” to 9.5”, providing extra strength. According to All-Pro, it also increases clearance under the driveshaft, and does not result in a loss of ground clearance at all. For those looking to really beef up their FJ, this may be a great option (although a SFA may be a better first step). The setup is not cheap at $2200 ($3500 for your choice of gears & an ARB locker), but it’ll certainly help you bullet-proof your FJ. Full details here.

FJ Information Galore!
In addition to the new FJ Wiki (www.fjpedia.com) that is currently being built (please be patient, wiki’s take a while to grow), there are dozens of forums, clubs, and websites full of FJ Cruiser information.
We spent this morning trolling the Google search results to find good sources of information. We also were able to compile a pretty good list of RSS links to some of the larger forums out there. Hopefully you’ll find this information useful and time saving, we certainly do!

FJ Cruiser Barely Makes the Top 20 |
|
Written by shane4x4

The Trucktrend.com blog reports that according to SEMA, the FJ Cruiser ranked 19th in sales over the last two years. This may be good news to some FJ owners, but we’re a little disappointed. We think that as the FJ continues to gain popularity, the variety and quality of aftermarket support will continue to improve.
Another interesting statistic from the article is where most owners spend their aftermarket dollars. Trucktrend states that over half of those surveyed spent at least some money on mods. Larger tires came in number one, with air filters and exhaust not far behind. It looks like most of us are trying to keep our MPG’s as high as possible. Other popular mods include wheels, suspension upgrades, oil & lube, hitches, and of course cleaning supplies.
